On Saturday, Barack Obama lashed out at successful business owners, telling them:
“You didn’t build this. Somebody else built this.”
Yesterday, fake Indian Elizabeth Warren came to Obama’s defense and agreed with him.
The Boston Herald reported:
Elizabeth Warren yesterday came to the defense her former boss President Obama’s controversial statement that businesses’ owners can’t take credit for their success, repeating her own campaign line that, “nobody got rich on their own.”
Warren’s reiteration of her statement — which became an iconic and controversial cornerstone of her campaign — comes as conservatives have leapt on Obama for saying “If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”
Warren said during a campaign stop in Dorchester yesterday, “I think the basic notion is right. Nobody got rich on their own. Nobody. People worked hard, they build a business, God bless, but they moved their goods on roads the rest of us helped build, they hired employees the rest of us helped educate, they plugged into a power grid the rest of us helped build,” she said.
“The rest of us made those investments because we wanted businesses to flourish, we wanted them to grow, we wanted them to create opportunity for all of us. That’s what we do together. We get richer as a country when we make those investments.”
Republicans have cast Obama’s statement as a big government hit against independent business owners. Mitt Romney has used it in fundraising, calling it “a slap in the face to the American Dream.”
Warren called government investments “a good thing,” charging that, “the Republican vision of the future is just to continue to make cuts and not to make those investments.”
Good golly, that fake Indian is nuts.
More… Legal Insurrection added this: Thank you Elizabeth Warren (for possibly costing Obama the election)

If the voters are so naive to elect these people into office they get what they deserve.
Scatted heads and debt sheller.. And if the voters remain incapable of electing people with common sense and true officials who believe in the welfare of this nation, we will never recover and we will be talking about this next year.

“Socialism /ˈsoʊʃəlɪzəm/ is an economic system characterised by *social ownership*, control of the means of production and cooperative management of the economy,[1] and a political philosophy advocating such a system. “Social ownership” may refer to cooperative enterprises, common ownership, direct public ownership or even autonomous state enterprises.”

Ok. Can we call them socialists now?
snap boy commented:
So Speak-With-Forked-Tongue wants to credit government for all those money-making enterprises; do the dems blame the government for the other end of the spectrum – the escalating hordes on welfare, food stamps, unemployment and disability?
DMartyr commented:
The question is, if nobody made it on their own & somebody else made it happen, did the ‘somebody’ else made it happen or did someone else make it happen for the somebody else who made it happen?
Another question: if the rich only made it by exploiting the services provided by the government, who made it financially possible for the government to provide those services in the first place?
Granny commented:
“the power grid the rest of us helped build”?
Who the heck is she kidding? The power grid was built by privately owned electric companies. The telephone system was built by Ma Bell – privately.
Mope commented:
Just to be clear: Obama stole this idea from Warren. She stated this on September 18, 2011:

….and prostitutes use the roads to reach the strip clubs which light up the pole dancer’s stage by tapping into the power grid….. Its about freedom of opportunity which can be put to good or bad use….and the injustice of making the socially beneficial productive uses pay the lion’s share….double charging for public services already paid in full … while millions of slackers and takers pay nothing.

Top 10 Things Obama is Not Releasing, From Breitbart.com
1. Fast and Furious documents. Obama used
executive privilege to save AG Eric Holder’s behind.
2. Health reform negotiations. Obama made back-
room deals worth millions with lobbyists and legislators.
3. FOIA requests. Obama is “the worst” at
complying with Freedom of Information Act
requests.
4. Real White House guest list. Many
visits are secret. Met with lobbyists off
-site.
5> Rashid Khalidi tape. Obama attended a 2003 party for Rashin
Khalidi in which a lot of anti-Israel rhetoric was featured. Nobody
is releasing the tape. LA Times story.
6. Small dollar donors. Obama refused to release names of
contributors who donated less than $200 even though he’s
accused of receiving illegal foreign contributions. McCain did
this in 2008, why couldn’t Obama?
7. Medical records. John McCain released thousands of pages
of medical records. All Obama released was a one-page doctor’s
note even though he has a history of drug abuse and smoking.
8. Book proposal. Obama’s literary agent said he was “born in
Kenya”. Why hasn’t anybody released the original book proposal.
9. Academic transcripts. Can Obama prove his merit?
10. State senate papers. Obama never produced any papers from his
eight years as a state senator. He says “they could have been thrown
out.”]

Princess Running Bare apparently did NOT get the memo…
Now the spin-meisters of the Lie-0-Tron are going to have MORE trouble trying to sell the idea that Obama was taken out of context.
Which WAS a very, VERY hard sell to begin with!
